look at you, just as bad as the site this thread is dedicated to clowning on

whoever banned Creepy Stalker might want to try and climb some poles for a neogaf moderation spot

Oh noes! Good heavens! What ever shall I do that the mighty Jansen is calling me out for being happy that I don't have to scroll past Creepy Stalker's bullshit posts anymore.

Oh wait:  Can't care. Not having to scroll past long ass Final Fantasy posts anymore.

Try and add something to the conversation dude.

There comes a time when you have to ask yourself, "is the thread I'm making really necessary?"

This is one of those times.

Don't worry, I laughed. That's the first time in a long time I've seen a 50 Hitler snowclone. Jansen can think I'm "mad" for all I give a shit. If anything, I'm not one of the posters that apparently PM'd Bork. I had no issue with Creepy Stalker outside of his bullshit Final Fantasy "ARG" posting style. If he actually kept that shit to his one thread, he wouldn't have been bad. But as it is: at not having to "deal" with it anymore.

And if Bork is right about him in regards to certain things: Good riddance.

Let's pretend like companies don't do a ton of marketing analysis before new product introduction and then  pick the most possible configuration.

No, I"m pretty sure that they're like "But guys! Captain America doesn't ride that bike in the movie! Let's forgo the configuration!!"

I started waiting for it to get halfway and then trying to race to the top before it makes it to the left side.

can someone please delete those long posts? it's cluttering up the thread and what it is intended for: scrolling back up to my last post and getting an ego boost from the number of likes.

I dunno, would it really kill sales to have a female (that DOES ride it in the movie) riding on the toy? It seems like toy companies still aren't ready to "let go" of gender roles. It seems like this "move" is more targeting boys because "hey boys like comics and girls don't, right?" I mean, on a related note: Game publishers are finally starting to allow female protagonists in most games because they finally realized that "Hey, having a female on the cover/in advertisements isn't going to kill our game sales!" I feel like the same would be the same in these toys, but comics and toy makers still have a way to go before realizing that girls that want to play with boy toys and vice-versa isn't really going to end the world.

[benjipwns]

It's probably not that it kills sales but adding Captain America bumps up sales vs. the jet/bike alone or with Black Widow.

wow, that legit pretty fucked up.

Ok this one is downright stupid on the part of the merchandisers. Avoiding BW (and Gamora) on a lot of the "boys" merchandise is annoying enough, but this is embarrassing. Not only was that scene one of BW's most badass scene, but everyone already knows that it was her. Hell they put it in several of the TRAILERS. And another toy set replaced her with Iron Man, the guy who's "power" is building cool armored suits to FLY IN. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I know plenty of people, male and female alike, that would easily rock Captain Marvel merch. One of my favorite characters is Rogue, and I have her on a shirt. I would get a Jubilee shirt too if she wasn't so poorly represented (due to being less liked).

What I'm trying to say is, the audience is there (for adults most definitely), it's the suits in the marketing departments that seem to think that there are no boys that would really want to buy things with female characters on them, which was never true for me or my friends growing up. One of my favorite action figures growing up was Princess Leia disguised as the bounty hunter.

If you think toy companies do the most thorough research (especially wrt girls), go watch that Lego docu on Netflix. Or play Magic: the Gathering.

Fill me in on the latest with Magic. I know they made a "transgender" character for a card and flavor text. But what does that have to do with the girl fa--

Oh, right the terrible card-shop community assholes. Right. But I don't think that's necessarily Hasbro/WotC's fault.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Certainly there's a place for a chicken and egg argument.
I mean, toy makers could be saying "Female action figures just don't sell" because they're unwilling to try.
But it also could be that toy makers don't make female action figures because they really don't sell.

I can see that argument being made, but Hasbro and Mattle marketing are actually pretty tightly run ships if what I've heard is true and I have a hard time seeing them not doing market analysis due diligence for the sake of supporting the patriarchy. I could be wrong, but having worked for consumer goods clients, the amount of work and focus groups and all that when launching an NPI would put most companies out of business.

Hmmm.

I mentioned them in a video I did about the avatar maker here

One being the anime style that I was okay with (because if not I'd make a female character) and the old looking guy with the cheap cornrows.
*thumbnail of previous video*

I feel like this post is an insult to everything I wrote.

If you watched the video I spent 15 minutes breaking down my issue, I've been debating making the video since I got the game over a week ago. And my issue never was about SKIN COLORS OPTIONS.

It's right in the OP man... What the hell?

Yeah, I get you man.

Well, aside from Souls. My bad I should've said that.
I've never played anything Phantasy Star or talked to anyone about it, or heard about it.

 

Okay, maybe I don't know much about JRPGs aside from what is very popular.

Outside of the "popular" (if you can even call them that now a days) Final Fantasy/Tales of... there is many other "JRPG"'s that have character creators. Monster Hunter is one, now that I think of it. A lot of them are in the "PSO"/"ARPG" territory, though. But I think Resonance of Fat--No, RoF was only clothing customization. I'm trying to think of a "traditional" JRPG that has a character creator. Maybe Xenoblade's sequel if Bebpo is right?

It sounds like a great game, but people in the thread are acting like the game getting good reviews is validating a real living god. All Jeff tweeted was "I haven't gotten into it like other people have", that's enough to derail the entire thread into complaining about a 40 year old man not liking the game.

Literally every giant bomb thread is a combination of

"Dan is dumb"
"Drew doesn't play games"
"This isn't even videogames"

My thinking was that licking something's asshole is indicative of actually liking it very much.
